I don't get why the Government should be surprised at last week's poll results. In its pursuit of money to give tax cuts to landlords it has been laying waste to important parts of public infrastructure. Claims that cuts would only be to the back…

From the looks of it yesterday Green MP Julie Anne Genter may have had the sort of day at work which many of us have. But not often and we always want to forget them and move on. And she clearly felt immediate regret. But…

Hands down, this is one of the best pieces of climate communication I have ever seen. Environmentalist and journalist Bill McKibben nails it in two minutes. Transcript below, but the video is better. https://twitter.com/briefbutspectac/status/1783152584787652701 Climate change is unique among our political problems in that it…

We were told it would rock the entire Parliament and this latest One News Verian Poll and it will. I can sense a deathly silence in the halls of Government once this poll result came out. The results are: National - 36% down 2 Act…

Ahead of his leaving parliament, James Shaw was interviewed by Jack Tame on TVNZ's Q & A yesterday. Tame is at his usual excellent standard, choosing this time to facilitate the conversation rather than pushing on the hard questions. Shaw is open and relaxed, much…

Maori forced all the banks to close. Jacinda was a pretty little communist. Gays forced cows to stop defacating in the streams. Transsexuals put Council rates up to pay for Three Waters. Jacinda made the world car manufacturers go electric. The EU and the UN…
